Last week we fixed a 14 year old bug in #Firefox. It was a small thing, just a UI glitch in the crash reporter client, but it always feel good to close bugs that old. Plus I didn&#39;t fix it myself, I walked a new contributor through her first patch. It&#39;s always nice when people want to help and I&#39;m always delighted to see how happy they are about landing their very first patch in a #FOSS project.

I moved all the articles I saved in Pocket to a self-hosted @readeck installation and I&#39;m really satisfied with the result. Readeck has the most useful functionality Pocket lost in the last few years and is very pleasant to use. If I find some free time I&#39;ll whip my #Gentoo ebuild into shape and contribute it to the guru package repository.

My blog post describing how we cut #Firefox out-of-memory crashes by more than 70% with one weird trick is out: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/11/improving-firefox-stability-with-this-one-weird-trick/ The title is not click-bait, I swear, it *is* one weird trick.
